ShellCheck Configuration and Static Analysis

Comprehensive guidance for configuring and using ShellCheck to improve shell script quality, catch common pitfalls, and enforce best practices through static code analysis.

When to Use This Skill

Setting up linting for shell scripts in CI/CD pipelines
Analyzing existing shell scripts for issues
Understanding ShellCheck error codes and warnings
Configuring ShellCheck for specific project requirements
Integrating ShellCheck into development workflows
Suppressing false positives and configuring rule sets
Enforcing consistent code quality standards
Migrating scripts to meet quality gates

Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

Best Practices

Run ShellCheck in CI/CD - Catch issues before merging
Configure for your target shell - Don't analyze bash as sh
Document exclusions - Explain why violations are suppressed
Address violations - Don't just disable warnings
Enable strict mode - Use --enable=all with careful exclusions
Update regularly - Keep ShellCheck current for new checks
Use pre-commit hooks - Catch issues locally before pushing
Integrate with editors - Get real-time feedback during development

Install shellcheck-configuration and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.

A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
